Goodnight Loving – Nothing Conquers Us/Scary Bad 7″ out on Dirtnap in late October.

These guys have long been favorites ’round the Dirtnap offices, and we couldn’t be more excited to be releasing somethin’ by them. whoo!

Impulse International – Point Of Action CD

This just in:

Impulse International debut full length CD on Dirtnap, out in 3 or 4 weeks.

Yes, 3 or 4 weeks. We move fast when we gotta. Vinyl on Deranged.

This is Adam from Dirt Bike Annie’s current band. Heart-breakingly great garage pop with a timeless vibe. Totally worth re-arranging our release schedule to accommodate this gem.

Track List:

1. Soundtrack Tonight
2. Dedication to Action
3. Rooftops & Bus Stops
4. Hey Girl
5. Telephone
6. Pretty Girls
7. Tear Down My Walls
8. Tina, No
9. Automatic Breakdown
10. Here She Comes
11. Jennifer
12. I Found You
13. Wild Sound
14. Drink or Two

The Estranged – Static Thoughts LP

estrangedhires

It’s been awhile, but The Estranged – Static Thoughts LPs are back in stock. Order yers today!

In other Estranged news, the band’s demo-ing songs next month to be recorded in October for a new full length on Dirtnap! Hurrah!

Psyched To Die – Year One CD available NOW!

psychedtodie721

Psyched To Die practically qualify as a New Jersey punk all-star band, being composed of ex-members of The Ergs, For Science, Hunchback and a bunch more.

Forget all that, though, this sounds nothing like any of those bands! (Mikey Erg is nothing if not versatile!)

Starting off as a straightforward (DC meets early Touch And Go?) hardcore band with lyrics about as uplifting as the name would suggest, Psyched To Die’s newer material slows it down just a bit and explores the area where punk and early hardcore intersect, kind of a cross between Dangerhouse and early Orange County stuff. (if the song title “OCD Life” is not a Rikk Angew nod, it should be!)

Happy-fun-time music this ain’t. This is fast, dirty, bleak and negative, but still pretty darn catchy.

This CD compiles the as-yet-unreleased Dirtnap 7″ (patience!), the Sterile Walls 7″ released on Grave Mistake/Firestarter, the 8 song demo (some of their best stuff in our humble opinion!) and may or may not include a hidden bonus track! You’ll just have to buy it and find out!
